Hi. You've reached Nikki.

If you cannot leave a message, you

better have something good to say!

Hey. It's me.

I'm about to go into Alice's.

If you want to stop by

after work, please do.

It'd be great to see you.

If not, I will see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Bye.

Hey!

Look at you.

Where's Nik?

She's at work, but she might

stop by later, though.

Okay.

Single girl tonight, then, hmm?

Come on. Let's get us a drink.

What are you having?

I think you've already had enough.

Oh, hush, hush.

Come on. What are you having?

Just get me a beer.

All right.

Hey, Sam.

Hey.

Riley.

Yeah. Yeah.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I thought Alice said you

might not be coming.

Yeah, it was a last-minute thing.

Cool.

Can I get you a drink?

Oh, no, no.

Alice just went to

get me something.

Okay. Oh, of course.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For... assuming, um...

Hey. It's okay.

It's not a big deal.

So are you still

seeing that bartender?

I'm gonna run to the

bathroom really quick.

Sorry.

'Cause who cares?

Like, pick me up, you know?

Oh, sorry. Hold on.

Sam.

Hey.

Zain.

What's up?

Nothing.

It's been... a long time.

You been good?

Yeah.

I'm trying to.

Uh...

where's Nik?

Is that-did I say...

Sorry.

Did I say something weird?

No.

You know what?

It's fine.

Forget it.

Okay.

'Cause I'm about to go to the

bathroom, if you need a bump.

I'm good.

It'll help.

Thanks.

Really.

All right.

Well, let me know.

Do you need some help with that?

I got you a drink.

Oh, what is in that?

Vodka.

And what else?

Vodka.

This isn't what I asked for.

Oh, it's alcohol.

Come on. You'll love it.

Shots.

Come on.

Shots solve everything.

I can't do two shots.

Well, you're not gonna do two shots.

You're gonna do four shots.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, no.

I-I can't.

Quick.

Are you trying to get me drunk?

Yes!

Yes!

If Nikki shows up,

she's gonna kill me.

Oh, f*** her.

She's not gonna show up.

Alice...

Drink.

Come on.

Just do it before

you think about it.

Quick, before you think

about it, just do it.

Fine.

Okay.

Let's do this.

Oh.

Hurry before you regret

your life choices.

Might as well look

elsewhere, my friend.

She is no longer interested in

what our kind have to offer.

Yay.

Ugh.

W...

Uh-oh.

You know, Riley's on the prowl.

He can sense that the alcohol

is taking over your body.

He's gonna sit there

silently, off to the side,

until he senses that you've thrown

all your inhibitions to the wind,

and that's when he's

gonna make his move,

sweeping you off of your

feet and into his bed.

Oh, as if that would help.

Hey, Riley.

Sam says if you can eat

p*ssy like a lesbian,

then she'll take you for a

ride in about an hour or so.

Alice, what the f*** are you doing?

Oh, come on.

He knows I'm kidding.

Well, someone has to tell that

kid he doesn't have a chance.

And you had to tell

half the party, as well.

I don't know half these

people, anyways.

Hi.

You've reached Nikki.

If you cannot leave a message,

you better have

something good to say!

Beep!

Hey.

It's...

it's almost 2:
00.

I guess you're not coming.

I probably shouldn't

be calling you, but...

I can't help it.

I'm thinking of you...

a lot.

And...

I'm not sure how much

longer I'm gonna stay.

So...

I guess I'll see you

in the morning.

Okay.

I love you.

Sh*t!

Look what you made me do.

I'm so sorry.

I'll help you clean that up.

Here's your drink.

Did I have a drink?

I don't even remember

what I was doing.

I'm pretty sure

I saw you holding it.

Are you spying on me?

I thought you looked...

interesting.

Interesting.

Haven't heard that one before.

I think I saw you earlier.

You know Alice?

I came here with a friend,

B.J.

How does your friend know Alice?

I'm not sure.

Is your friend a girlfriend and

you're just not saying it?

No, it's not.

How about you?

Are you here with anyone?

No.

I'm not.

Hmm.

Well, are you seeing anyone?

Yeah. I am.

He's a lucky guy.

Girl.

How long has that been going on?

Me being a lesbian or me and her?

Both.

Same time.

Both.

Are you intimidated?

A little.

Why isn't she here

with you tonight?

We should stop.

I'm serious.

Please?

Please.

Oh, holy sh*t.

Hey, Sam. It's Nik.

I got your messages last night,

and I was super busy at work,

so there was no way

I was going out after.

So yeah, I guess I'll just

see you when I see you.

All right. Bye.

It's freezing in here.

You think?

I was gonna turn the air on.

You feel okay?

What are you doing home?

Well, I was on my break,

and I thought I would

pick some stuff up and...

You hear from the committee?

Can't make them get

back to me faster.

I don't know.

For 100 grand?

That could use some

follow-up, I think.

Can I see them?

Mom.

Slept in pretty late this morning.

Day's getting away from you.

I was out kind of late.

I heard.

So did the whole apartment

building when you came home.

Great.

Well, I'm gonna go get

ready to see Nikki.

Oh, what are you two gonna do?

You know, girly things.

I didn't think you were coming.

I said I would.

Are you going somewhere cold?

No, I-I think I'm

just getting sick.

Or hungover.

So how was work after I left?

Did you get my message?

Yeah.

How was your lover's?

Stop it.

I hate when you say that.

It was... okay.

Did you do anything fun?

No.

I missed you, though.

The flowers are looking good.

I actually got the Dendrobium

spectabile to bloom.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I have a

real shot at getting in.

Listen, if I get accepted,

could we talk about me moving?

Excuse me, but...

do I know you from somewhere?

I'm sorry?

I've seen you around before.

What's your name?

Oh, that's smooth.

I'm sorry?

She's not interested, mate.

Sorry to tell you that.

Put it this way:

you're not working with the

right equipment down there.

Are you done yet?

Yeah.

Yeah.

F***ing men.

Dinner is served.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna go sit down and eat?

Tonight we're having dinner

sitting at the table.

I'm not 12.

My roof, my rules.

Sit.

You know, I'm not gonna

be here much longer.

Then while you're here,

we're going to act like a family.

I can go get a hotel.

Why would you do that?

So I don't have to put up

with these ridiculous rules.

You and your roommate never

sat at the dinner table

and had dinner together?

My roommate?

Humor me.

No.

We didn't.

As you can imagine, we're

not your ordinary couple.

That's what this is about.

It's a part of not being ordinary.

Watch that.

I've been here ten days, and

you're already driving me nuts.

So where are you gonna go?

A hotel?

That'll last you a couple of weeks.

That's all I need.

That's what you said when you got here.

Your two weeks is coming up fast.

Everything's gonna work out.

We had a really good time today.

And what if it doesn't?

What's your plan?

Get my own place.

With what money?

With the money I get

from the flowers.

You haven't been following up.

How do you know

you're gonna get in?
